Laundry pickup & delivery vs. doing it yourself.
Wondering whether laundry pickup & delivery is worth it? Here’s an honest look at the real cost of DIY laundry — time, money, and hassle — against $3.00/lb done-for-you in New Paltz.
You’ll finish booking on our secure scheduler (Trycents) — about 2 minutes, and no card is charged until after we pick up.
It comes down to what your time is worth.
Doing laundry yourself isn’t free. A typical week runs 2–3 hours once you count loading, waiting, drying, folding, and putting away — plus detergent and either utility costs or laundromat machines. Pickup & delivery is $3.00/lb ($50 min), and our own drivers deliver free on Mondays and Thursdays. For a lot of people, trading a few dollars for a few hours back every week is an easy call.
